metaficcionales audiovisuales
en la filmografía del
grupo británico}",
year = "2023",
note = "Metafiction is a concept that has been widely studied in
the literary field, but the study of audiovisual
metafictional works is very limited. The main objective of
this thesis is to study audiovisual metafiction and to
explore the self-referential and self-conscious resources
that complete it. In order to comprehensively understand
and study audiovisual metafiction, the four feature films
of the English comedy group Monty Python have been
visualised because they are considered to be the living
representation of the fact that metafiction in cinema is
possible. They develop metafictional resources through
humour and satire to challenge and subvert narrative and
cinematographic conventions. Monty Python created cult
metafictional works and the resources they used have not
been studied in exhaustive detail. After analysing the
Monty Python's complete work, it can be affirmed that the
comedy group used metafiction up to 108 times in a
splendid way. As we will see throughout this research, the
group uses more self-referential resources than
self-conscious ones, and various forms of metafiction are
repeated throughout their work. Metafiction helped them to
make an unfamiliar, modern and transgressive type of humour
that not everyone understood. Monty Python have profoundly
marked humour in cinema and the way audiovisual
metafiction is made.",
